Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to audit the outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy procedures done in our unit. The investigators aim to permanently monitor outcomes of this procedure correcting vaginal vault prolapse or cervical descent. Auditing institutional performance with pelvic floor procedures is increasingly being required by (inter)national societies in pelvic floor medicine, so that patients can be counseled on outcomes they can expect at a given institution.

Sacrocolpopexy is offered to patients with symptomatic prolapse (≥stage II) of the vaginal apex (vault or cervix). The procedure involves dissection of the promontory and the vaginal vault, suturing of two meshes to the anterior and posterior aspect of the vagina using minimally three rows of sutures on each side, and one row at the apex. Thereafter the mesh is fixed with staples to the promontory and the peritoneum closed, with staples and a running suture.

The investigators started auditing this procedure 20 years ago because of the conversion to laparoscopy.

High anatomical and subjective cure rates are reported on the medium term (range 12-60 months), though long-term data (60 months or longer) are scarce and most studies focus on anatomical outcomes.4 The investigators recently published medium term outcomes of patients operated up to 2014 1. Now the aim is to extend this audit to patients operated since 2014 and install a process of permanent monitoring our performance with this operation. The investigators also want to use the availability of outcomes in large numbers and/or the long term, to detect potential rare or long term complications, and study the effects of small technical increments such as extending dissections, associate other pelvic floor reconstructive procedures or the change in bio-materials used for this operation. All these may affect outcome.

Primary outcome is a subjective outcome, using a patient-centered approach and report patient reported out-comes. Additional outcomes such as anatomical failure, or complications, both by occurrence and time point, re-interventions, and pelvic floor functional outcomes are secondary outcomes that allows the investigators to benchmark their performance to previous studies and other series. Key in an objective assessment process is that patients are examined by an experienced clinician not involved in the management, which will also be used herein.
